wind beneath my wings

[harley]

Hi all

still fiddling with the burns so here, for my better half Di (miji) is "wind beneath my wings" on burns marquee thru zoom G2.1u. again, straight into the pc, mistakes and all so all you are hearing is guitar and pedal

Hi Ian.

What's that odd sound at 1.53 and 2.00? and a few others. Is that on the BT?

Right back to sound. I presume your on the bridge pick up? I am not a lover of a toppy guitar on slow numbers. I will confess to being more than interested in the Burns, I am on the look out for another guitar, and I am taking a selfish chance to find out more about it! So forgive me for that!

I am wondering if a different pick up would suit this tune better? Its strange, but the start of the tune has a thicker guitar sound to it and it sounds great, and then the sound seems to get thinner as the track goes on. It could be just the position your playing it in. I know backing track has a lot more going on later on in the tune.

Had a few listens to it and you do have great playing technique. I am sure Di was chuffed you did this for her. I have enjoyed listening to your music.

hi Tony

dont know what the sounds you are talking about at 1.53 and 2.00 are as i cant hear anything unusual there. maybe a glitch in the sent or received file?? ill try it again with a different pick or maybe switch between pick ups to demonstrate the variation. im sure you are aware the burns has a pull switch on the lower tone control which gives you birdge/neck combined and all 3 pickups together. bridge and neck is quite a nice sound. i use it for genie with the light brown lamp. its also very sensitive to picking which is why the sound changes from start to finish as i was plucking harder later in the song. i got my marquee for £150 with a hard case... it sounds and plays like something much more expenxive. ive been looking on the well known auction site and they usually seem go for less than £200. got to be worth it.

Hi Ian.


I have just listened again and the sound is still there, a bit like harsh chord being played at the sametime when your picking. Does anyone else hear it?

I don't know anything about the Burns Marquee, so I am listening carefully!. I have been impressed with the sound your getting, your an excellent player which helps. At less than £200 thats some bargain!

Hi Ian

Very nicely played, I can't say I know the tune but it is a beautiful tune

The Burns has to be worth every penny you paid for it, I have a Burns Apache on order, been on order for ages, I want it more than ever now

Yes, I can hear what Tony hears, taking nothing away from your playing as you played this superbly! It sounds as Tony describes as if you are playing a chord in the background as you hit the note, I heard it several times, maybe it's part of the backing track?

Nice one Ian

Tony check out this burns marquee review on you tube.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PgVtSNLjI4

there is also a cobra review

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iD2rkOlYYg&feature=related

although its a marquee pro (diff pick ups) i dont think there is a lot of difference. the pick ups on the pro are the same as on the cobra which is a cheaper guitar than the marquee.
if there is anything youd like to hear let me know. i have zoomG2.1u and magicstomp, both with EFTP. always nice to hear a guitar before you buy it

thanks Robert
hope your burns turns up soon

Hi Ian. Do they just do Rosewood? No maple? Its looks mega on the youtubes! Thanks for the update. Tony

[harley]

Hi Tony
yep ive seen maple necks on these on the well known auction site but they mostly seem to be rosewood

Hi Ian,

Nicely played with an excellent sound Ian. Thanks for sharing that.

Hi Ian,
Good sound and well played. I do think the sound is basically warm but can be a little over bright at times. Not sure if this is down to playing technique or whether some extra EQ treatment would tone down the peaks a bit.
The noise that others mentioned seems to me to be the result of raking the notes at the beginning of the two phrases.
Regards,
Charlie

[harley]

thanks Len, thanks Charlie,

yep a few bum notes and stuff in there and the warm, bright thing is in a strange way a tribute to the burns rez o matic pick ups. they are ultra sensitive to soft/hard plucking and plucking position. I have just re recorded this and spent a lot more time on it so hopefully ill put a newer version on soon.

regards
Ian

Hi Ian.

Good to hear you have a better idea of what that noise was. Really looking forward to hearing your next version. Getting a few dud notes or a bit of timing wrong is no big problem when 1. You can play, which you can. and 2. You have a good sound, and you have.

Some good advice as well with trying different EQ settings as mentioned by Charlie.

Brilliant Ian, listened to it 3 times - extremely well played with a brilliant sound! Are the tabs and B/T available anywhere?

[harley]

thanks Clive
it was just a make it up as you go along tune so no tabs but ill upload the backing track if you want

cheers
Ian

Hi Ian, listened to it again tonight - a make up as you go along??? So well played mate - lovely sound/tone (and the wife agrees - now there's a d**n novelty!!!).
Yes, would appreciate the B/T mate. Thanks and rgds - Clive

[harley]

when i say make it up as you go along i dont mean the song itself. its a Bette Midler song from the film "beaches" but my better half and myself both thought itd make a nice instrumental so i played it and this is the result. just reposted it after re-recording it and hopefully sorted a few hashy bits. the backing track is a karaoke track which i faded before the end. do you want it as it is in this recording or the complete track?

[clivea]

Hi Ian,

I would be grateful for the complete track mate - thanks.
